Stone Hotel

Hello neighbor, Are you hungry? Are you screamin' out for love?
 'Cause somethin' tells me that you're likely to stick me up
 Don't be mistaken: I'm a pirate, I'm a thief from way back
 And all this time I was just tryin' to get my money stacked
 And Judge said "Young lady
 You never felt the blues, no not yet"
 And I keep tryin' to remember what his face looked like
 But I was starin' at my shoes, starin' at my shoes
 I need you, you need me
 This world is so deceivin'
 There ain't shakin' down a pawn shop girl
 My credit is borrowed
 I'll pay you back tomorrow
 If I get over this big white wall
 Time holds still at the Stone Hotel
 Three free meals on the county bill
 Takes my calls at the Stone Hotel
 My people's achin' for now
 But I got someone waitin' on me
 It made it faster to say it's time to make my plead and laugh
 District Attorney threw the book and pulled the learnin' out
 Oh Magistrate, just take my statement as the truth that we all want
 This here defendant came in wavin' a banana gun
 And some con said "Now honey
 You better take a bone" oh, that's right
 That DA called for restitution
 For a hustler on bond walkin' alone
 I need you, you need me
 This world is so deceivin'
 There ain't shakin' down a pawn shop girl
 My credit is borrowed
 I'll pay you back tomorrow
 If I get over this big white wall
 Time holds still at the Stone Hotel
 Three free meals on the county bill
 Takes my calls at the Stone Hotel
 My people's achin' for now
 But I got someone waitin' on me
 Time holds still at the Stone Hotel
 Three free meals on the county bill
 Takes my calls at the Stone Hotel
 My people's achin' for now
 But I got someone waitin' on me
